Description

This title presents the features of Oracle Portal, the next generation release of Oracle WebDB, in a one-volume tutorial and reference. It covers both the browser and server-side components of Oracle Portal and all the major functional areas of the product. This includes: database browsing; application development; user management; component management; performance monitoring; and the all new portal and portlet building features. All the required tables and code for a feature-rich Oracle application are here. Complete with management and monitoring functions, presented piece by piece as the reader progresses through the text. The CD includes a sample Oracle database and additional code examples. Oracle Portal is a tool that runs entirely in a standard browser and it greatly simplifies the task of building and managing Web based Oracle applications. Its functions overlap those of FrontPage and ColdFusion at the low end and Visual InterDev and NetObjects at the high end. Oracle Portal, however, offers a complete solution that will appeal to experienced Oracle administrators, as well as users and developers.
